Get one of these at most any auto parts store: Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for 1988 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 - Tow Ready 118316



It is an inline adapter that plugs into the wiring leading to the rear brake lights.

Aw.....shucks

There are plenty of sharp peeps on this forum, I learn something new most everyday.

I used to wire in trailer connections years ago with a soldering iron and rubber tape. This was long before these fancy DIY kits came along.

Sometimes the price of progress is well worth it.
